It comprises the acts relating to crimes, procedure, and jails and Penitentiary with an appendix containing notes of decioiona, forms, and an index. It presents the work of the Codifying Commission and the Legislature, taking effect on the 1st inst., and the value of the book to the legal profession need not be enlarged upon. - The present season has been a remarkable one for storms, and Ohio has had a considerable share of damage. Our Newark Bpecial gives an account of much devastation in Licking county on Thursday, and probable loss of life. A gentleman who traveled from Johnstown, Licking county, to Weaterville, Franklin county, reports muoh destruction of limber; a large tract of woodland in Plain township, belonging to Mr, Diger, was almost entirely leveled to the ground. Mrs. Shott, of the same township, had a barn and considerable timber thrown down, and much damage of a similar description was inflicted in Blendon township, Franklin county, and in Genoa and Harlem townships, Delaware county, Thomas Cole was one of the principal sufferers in Harlem, much of his timber being blown down. The barn of Mr! Elias, two miles east of New Albany, was unroofed. A new bridge over Raccoon creek, in Licking county, was swept away. Bleratadi's Pictures. To the Editor of the Ohio Btate Journal : Columbus ia about to enjoy one of those rare treats which the cities of the United States have always looked foi-ward to with pleasure and enjoyed with profit for now more than eighteen years, vis. : the exhibition of one of Albert Bieretadt'a celebrated landscapes. By the exhibition of the Yosemite, Vesuvius and Mt. Hood, the art education of the American publio has been greatly assisted and promoted, and to the power of Mr. Bier-stadt's pictures to instruct, as well as please, is he indebted for his immense reputation and success. The picture now on exhibition at No. 40 North High street, called North Fork of King's River, Southern California, is one of the fintst ever painted by Mr. Bierstadt. The choice of subject is a wilderness of rocky heights that except for the evident work of his bands "so lonely that God himself scarce seemed there to be," and even the United States surveyors seem lost and to looking for some habitation more than for level or latitude. But even the wilderness in Mr. Bierstadt's hands blooms like the rose, and this be acquires by his treatment. Upon a vaBt expanse of rocky mountain sides which are sufficiently enveloped in miBty atmosphere to render the atrial perspective in all its beauty and to develop the mountain grey and mountain gloom, are relieved in vigorous sunlight the richness of color in red pines of piotureeque and fantastio forms, the deep greens of foliage and their reflection in a clear and placid lake that bursts from its rocky prison and bounds in glee and brightness aoross the picture, and down, down till it ia lost in the depths of the forest, thousands of feet below, and finally mingles with the rushing waters of 1 King's river, which forms a brilliant line of grace and light through the center of the picture. On the mountain sides of the immense distance far above the level of the sea the water has worn for itself little basics and nooks, and there rests like emeralds set in silver and diamonds. The eye in wandering from peak to peak would weary of their ruggedness did it not just in time plunge with them into a quiet, fleecy afternoon sky. In execution all those qualities of technique so well managed by Mr. B. are in this picture in full force ; the softness of sky and cloud, the hardness of rock, leafinesa of foliage and rushing of mountain stream are all rendered by a handling thoroughly ex- . ptessive of each, and, in short, the picture ' is one for artists to study and connoiseurs to love and cherish.

A Portland press dispatch says : In the Grover investigation there were examined yester day H. Haight, member of the Legisla ture at the last session from Jlock-a-Moes county, ex-Governor L. Curry, Governor Chad wick, and L. Danforth. Nothing definite or even satisfactory was elicited from these witnesses tending in any man. ner to tbe establishment of the charges preferred against urover. James .Brown testified be knew Kepre sentative Wilson, of Tillawook oounty, and bad a conversation with him in regard to the Senatorial question. Vic. Trevett and Barnhart wanted to find whether he would throw off on Nesmith, The witness said : Barnhart gave me some money to try him with, i asked him how much it would take to get him not to vote for Grover, and whether $1500 would do. He said no; he could do better. He told me he would talk to me the second evening after if Grover was not elected, and be would talk business. Never had any conversation with him afterward, and gave the money back to Barnhart. The next day (this waa two nights before Governor Grover's election) be stated to me that we wanted Nesmith. He said Nesmith was a fool for not going into tbe caucus. To tempt him I laid the money on the table and wanted him to name what sum would do him. He did not agree to that money. There was talk about money being used, and the talk came from both sides, but the most of it came from the Nesmith side. Senator Goodman, of Lynn county, testified as follows in relation to the conversation which took place between the witness and J. H. Moaier, member of the House from Wasco county. Moaier said to me on the night before the Senatorial election: "How is this Senatorial question going?" I said, I don't know, He said, "Why won't Mr. Grover do?" I said, well Mr. Grover is a good man, but he is not my choice. "Well," he said, "there is a chance to make some money. A man can get $1000 for his vote." Said I, " Who has the money ?" He said, 'I knowwbeie the money is, and you can get $1000 for your vote. They want three more votes, and they have $3000 to pay for it." To the question, "Who offered it?" the witness said, "You will have to judge of that, as I did." THE INDIANS.

July 9 The following correspondence Is made public Nw Tobk, June 80, 1877 MT Diae Sib : In view of the state ment made by the Attorney General in hi communication of June 23, and which from his high official position might nat urally induce tbe pnblio to believe that I have been acting in bad faith,' and with no luieuuuo oi uurij carrying oui my intentions a (xnressed in mv' letter to Mr. O'Conor of the 8th of December, 1876, would Ml it it will . be possible or proper to have all the facts hich are in dispute between Mr. Faircbild and yourself submitted to soma gentleman or gentlumen, who are tree from political bias, to render a writ ten opinion whetber or not, in all the facts. I have been faithful to mv Dromise. and whether what I have done does not justify my release frem custody. . To Mr. O'Conor, as a gentleman of recognized nonor and ability, 1 made my brat ap peal. To him I would willingly submit the whole matter and feel satisfied with any decision he might arrive at, trust ing tbis suggestion, which 1 take the lib erty of publishing, will not interfere with any action you may have determined upon. Yours truly, Wm, M. Tweed. To Hon. John D. Townsend. ThiB is followed by a letter from Town send to Attorney General Fairchild, in Which Townsend says : "In your report to tbe Governor upon your official conduct in tbe actions against feter a. Sweeny and William M. Tweed, you took occasion to criticize severely my acts, and charged me with conduct which, if as you represent it to be, would be reprehensible to the last degree. In fact, a large part of the report, which Is not taken up with a historical sketch of what you say has been done by other parties, and upon wbose shoulders you now attempt to place the burden of vour own responsibility, and which is not de voted to your assertions that J. weed s proposal was unreliable and worthless, is an effort to distract public attention from your official action to my conduct, which you say to some extent governed your de cision. "I assume the latter has but little interest for the public, as my relation to Tweed was a private and not an official one, except so far as it had effect upon your judgment, otiu some or your animadversions seem an injustice to myself, and require a reply. "In my open letter to you. dated June 20, 1 set forth, as far as I could fairly go, what 1 weed s proposition contained and all that he offered to do, and it was ap parent irom that (bat tbere were but three courses honorably open to you to pursue: "First, to return the statement imme diately, if you felt disinclined to enter upon such negotiation, and this course, though it might have seemed harsh. would have been such an Hot of official judgment as to permit unfair criticism. "second, to return the statement imme diately, if you thought that proof of all it contained would not warrant his re lease. "Third, if you concluded that its con tents would warrant his release, to investigate thoroughly whether he could do what the statement set forth. All that he proposed was contained in that statement, unlesB his mind was refreshed as to other matters; and the intimation that he might further corroborate bis assertions was based solely upon tbe ground that you would release him, and as an assur-ranee that he meant fairly by you, he asked no discharge from either civil judgment or criminal indictment. 1 cave briefly rehearsed this In order that it may be remembered that Tweed made no proposition to confirm his evidence, except such as were set forth in the statement. The statement furnished to you was based upon Tweed's letter to Mr. O'Conor, and waa intended to accomplish that which in your report- you say was Mr. O'Conor's aim I quqte your language although this decision (meaning the Court of Appeals decision) defeated the reoovery of a large amount of money, yet the vigor and energy of the prosecution had already driven from power and broken down the wrong and made the people of New York free. "J. his waa the main good sought by Mr. O'Conor's prosecution, and it was more important to the city and State than the mere getting of a sum of money however large. In theory it appears you agree with Mr. O'Conor, but in practice it seems you differ. You made no attempt in your report to deny that you stated to Mr. Kelly that you would release Mr. Tweed, if he carried out his intentions as expressed in bis letter to Mr. O'Conor. xou do not deny tbat on tbe twectysec-ond of April you told me that you were surprised at finding how much evidence Mr. feckbam bad that corroborated what Mr. Tweed could testify to, and tbat you then intimated to me that Mr. Tweed would be released in a few days, xou fail to deny that you gave assurance lo the same effect to Tweed. Tou fail to explain how it was that, without my knowledge, you called upon Tweed with Bryant, and how it is that Bryant could have been so conversant with your movements and your wishes, and I so ignorant of tbem. unleBS be waa acting in concert with you. You gave no reason why you requested me not to communicate with Mr. feckbam on tbe subject of the propo sition. You show no reasons, as I trusted you would, why you have been bo very considerate to many ring thieves who still live in comfort and elegance. You have not denied that it was by your suggestion tbat Mr. Tweed declined to testify berore the Senate committee in the Woodin matter, or why it was that, when Tweed was expecting a full examination of the matters set forth in my statement, you confined yourself in your interview with him on tbe 27th of March, to taking a statement in writing from him of what he could prove against Senator Woodin." The letter replies at length to various portions of the Attorney General's report, and among other things denounces as a falsehood the statement tbat he (Townsend) offered to collect for ten per cent, the amount covered by Tweed's checks, and that he (Townsend) was re tained as counsel for Sweeny, the retainer given him by the latter being merely to prevent his being retained by the people. The letter is quite caustic and almost en tirely of a personal character. Maryland Jostlee. Baltimore, July 6. Saturday last, the grand jury of the Baltimore County Circuit Court presented two of the Judges, namely, Richard Grason and George Gel-lott, for malfeasance in office, and ob- etructin'g investigations then being made By lb grand jury by refusing to extend tbe term of tbe court. ; To-day another step was taken in this Unfortunate matter, a State warrant be ing Issued for tbe arrest of Ueneral John 8.

At a meeting of the Washington Monument Association 4-to-day, General Meiggs submitted a plan to terminate tbe present structure with metallic spire one hundred and forty feet -igb, making tbe total height four hun dred and forty-two feet, and the column resemblioa the tower in the publio square of Venice,. The additional weight will be 4.147,000 pounds. General Meiggs also approved tbe plan of arkin U, Mead to complete' the monument bv placing a colossal statue oi Washington upon the present structure. This figure oi Washington will be eigbtynve feet in height and of light hammered metal, so tbat tbe additional welgbt will be Incon iderable. ! : ' the president's ordeb. Ths Cabinet session to-day was mainly devoted to conversation and informal dis cussion concerning the President's recent order prohibiting Federal officer from participating in the management of polit ical committees and conventions, with es pecial reference to the question whether It should be enforced against certain om- ciala who took part in the Iowa Conven tion, and whether roatmaster Ueneral Key correctly interpreted the purpose of the order in his yesterday's letter to the Madison, Wisconsin, postmaster. No formal action was taken on the subject involved, but it was agreed tbat the letter of tbe Postmaster Ueneral was correct and judicious statement of the meaning of the order in regard to cases like the one presented from Wisconsin. and that while the order should be firmly maintained and impartially enforced, there is no cccasion to apply it to the Iowa office-holders who were elected as members of the Convention before it was issued, and who probably took their seats colore it reached tbem by mail. THE MEXICAN MINISTER. The letter accrediting Senor Mata as Minister from the Diss Government was read at the meeting, and was the subject of interested attention. It was a very friendly and pleasant document, but the contents received no further attention than a respectful listening, as it was not regarded as at present proper to take any aotion beyond reference to the State Department, by which it was presented. FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS. At the Cabinet meeting some time was given to considering foreign appointments, but without a determination upon any names before the council. , MURDER IN NEVADA.

Misinterpretation of the Order to General Ord The Mexican Govern ment Taking Steps to atop the Raids on the Border. City op Mexico, July 8. The epirit of tbe order to General Ord to cross the Rio Grande, has been misunderstood by tbe press, which has made bitter attacks on the American Government. Tbe of ficial journal ohargea the United States Government with a violation of treaties and international law, alleging that the Kio urande movement Is a pretext for territorial aggrandizement, or lor forcing tjerao upon me Mexican people. These attacks have called forth a memoran- um from Minister Foster, which ia ad dressed to tbe Government and foreign representatives. following are the principal points of the memorandum : The instructions given to General Ord are not the announcement of a new measure on the part of the United States. The depredations committed during the past four years, were . not common both side of the frontier. Mexico took no adequate, no vigorous measures to prevent tbe depredations or punish the outlaws. Mexico frequently acknowledged its inability to discharge its uty regarding tbe preservation of order on the Rio Grande frontier, giving as a reason internal aissension. The instructions to General Ord are misinterpreted by the Mexican Government, therefore the declaration by the Mexican Minister of War is unwarrant ed, in officially asserting thai the instruc tions to Ueneral Urd are in contravention of treaties between Mexico and tbe Uni ted States. Telegraphic dispatches announce a meeting between Generals Ord and T re- vino at iiedras Hegrai, at which amicable and satisfactory arrangements were made for the suppression of raids. The Mexican Government insists upon a modification of the order to General Ord, and fears are entertained tbat the modification will not be conceded. There considerable excitement over tbis affair in the Capital. oenor Kafael Benandes has been com manded by the Mexican Government to axe a special and minute study of tbe situation on the border and report meas ures deemed expedient for putting a stop to the raids and disorders.

Sharon, Pennsylvania, was the scene of a distressing tragedy on tbe 4th instant. William Bell, a respected citizen about sixty vears old. was driving alone the street in a light wagon loaded with scrap iron, wbicb made a rattling noise. Ibis frightened a fractious horse driven by Miss Kate McUilvery, who requested Bell to stop so that she might get ahead of the danger. Bell being partially deaf did not at once hear the request, but when he became aware of tbe young lady's wiBhes he complied with her request. MisB McGilvery, however, misunderstood his actions, and reported to her father that Bell had tried to frighten her horBe. This so enraged McGilvery that he at once Bought -tell, and bnding bim near a grocery store knocked him through a window and severely, though not dangerously injuring him. This induced the wrath of Richard Bell, son of William, and upon encountering McGilvery Richard struck him on tbe head with a two-pound weight, fracturing his skull and causing death. Kate McUilvery, the cause of the difficulties, lost her reason in consequence. foreign. Suelima Pasha has received orders to march from Padgaechulza toward the Danube with fortyfive battalions. Fifteen hundred persons who fled from Adler to the Turkish lines from fear of the Russians perished from hunger. It is officially announced that the Russian loss in crossing the Danube at Sistova was 300 killed and 400 wounded. A Bucharest dispatch says no important action is expected until the RueBians have established depots of supplies on the southern side of the Danube and prepared everything for an advance. The master cotton spinners'of Bolton, England, have resolved to reduce the wages of operators five per cent,, provided the representatives of twothirds of the spindles agree to make the reduction. The Roumanian Government before ending troops serosa the Danube, inquired bow Austria would regard such a step, and was informed as long as the Roumanian army raspeoted Servian neutrality, Aus- tria would remain indifferent to its move ments.

Jennie June thus writes about and London : Par- The women are not pretty, but their dressmakers make them appear so; the lingerie is so excellent and they use it so profusely, lbe Unoene shops are, in deed, among tbe prettiest things in Paris, and this season they nave introduced a mixture of pale blue and olive, of tilleul and black poppy red, of blue, fawn and gold and other combinations Buch as sev eral shades of one or two colors into knots of ribbons, embroideiy on gauze, grenadine and lace, into fringes and other articles and methods of ornamentation, wbicb in small quantities and employed with French taste have a charming effect. Living is certainly easy in Pans compared with London or New York, and notwithstanding tbe very great advance in prices, money can still be made to go farther there than elsewhere. But London is the universe compared with any other city in the world, a universe which contains the best and the worst of every thing under tbe sun. Art, music litera ture, luxury of every description finds here its most abundant patronage. There Is a public for every idea, every opinion. and the Btill larger publio which confers immortality upon those who have the genius or good fortune to reach it. JngliBh character, on the wboie, seems to me to have a fine chanoe for deterioration through their very prosperity. There is too large a clans who are not obliged to work, and the workers earn so much more money than formerly that the majority work only four days out of six, and spend the rest of the time in drinking and idlenesa. The vice of drinking is universal, and is carried to excess. It is not oonfined, as in France, to weak wine, but is indulged in much more largely through the medium of strong ales and liquors. This produces a coarseness of appearance, and a corresponing ob- tuseness and absence of refinement which does an injustice to their intelligence, their loyalty, the strength of their affections, and their real truth and delicacy of sentiment. The'honest recognition accorded to any thing really good of its kind 1b, however, wonderful and most pleaBaut to Bee. Oi course, if it is a new thing, it has to overcome a certain amount of insular prejudice and the obstacles created by those with whose interests it 1b supposed to clash; but, once it reaches the outdoor air, it is sure to find staunch and strong sympathizers and helpers. The instinct lor "lair play" amounts to pasBion, and tbe extraordinary efforts made by the people to do honor to General Grant, and tbe outbursts of popular enthusiasm which have followed him wherever and whenever he has appeared, have been inspired less by his personal charaoter, and even the desire to do honor and Bhow sympathy with the American people (though this last feeling is very strong), than from an impression that he has not received his deserts at home; that the eternal abuse heaped upon him was not justified by his acts, nor his recognition commensurate with the service of one who bad led the country through such tremendous crises. It is surprising, too, bow tbe English stick by their favorites. In America we get tired of anything in a season and are ready to throw it away, but in London once a favorite alwayB a favorite, appears to be the rule, even with singers and public performers. The Mes Perces. The Nez Perces and other Indians of Idaho and Eastern Oregon, who have just instituted bo serious a revolt against the Government, belong to what is known as tbe Sahaptia family, which is closely allied with the Salish occupying the adjacent territory. The Nez Perces are physically superior to any of their neigh-bore; they are more coppery in complexion than the coast Indians, with a general expression of features that is stern, often melancholy, but not as a rule harsh or repulsive. Head-flattening obtains to a considerable extent among them, and they paint inveterately. Their voices are strong and manly. They dress like all other wild Indians, but through superior industry ornament their costumes much more elaborately; be-ness tbeir ideas of personal cleanli-sides, are refreshingly above those of the average aborigine. From the Comanches and Apaches they obtained tbeir horses and horsemanship. The Nu Perces livein dove shaped lodges built with poles and skins, some of which are large enough to accommodate fifty or sixty persons, the several families getting along comtortably and harmoui ouBly though there are no partitions. Though not very warlike they are good fighters, fighting on horsebsak, taking scalps and submitting their prisoners to torture by the women of the tribe or sparing their lives to make slaves of them. The bravest and most experienced warrior is annually elected war chief; his sceptre is a long whip, with which he aeourea discipline by merciless flagellations of his subordinates. Father de Smet baptized a great many of them, but their Christianity is only nominal, since it does not prohibit polygamy, as, says a writer in the St. Louis Republican, "a baptized Net Perce will marry the eldest daughter of a family and then take all her younger sisters for wives." A Decision or Interest to Business Men. A recent decision of tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in the case of Hucken-stein v. Hermann, is of interest to the business community. Suit was brought upon a cote, and the defense was that, although there had been a waiver of protest before the maturity of the paper, there had been no waiver of demand and notice of non-payment, which latter re qutrements the plaintiff had failed to comply with. Upon tbe question, therefore, of the actual meaning of "waiver of protest" tbe case came before the Supreme Court. That tribunal, in a brief opinion of tbe full bench, holds that a waiver of protest before maturity is a waiver of all the steps leading to it, and includes de- MARRIED.

Professional Secrets. The following letter to the editor of the New York Evening Post deserves a wide circulation, as those who need halters fur their tongues are found everywhere, and are altogether too numerous for the good of social life : My physician is given to gossip. Ha tells me and other persons a crodieioua deal about the private affairs of his pa tients; mat inrs. A.'s DaDy, for example, was born with an enormous mouth, which . be had to sew up; tbat Mrs. B.'a father died of delirium tremens, that Mr. C. is killing himself, and cannot possibly take more than six months in doing so; that Mr. D. has just lost $10,000; and that Mr. F. is bo unhappy with Mrs. F. tbat a divorce is Imminent. My lawyer was almost as communica tive about his client's affairs. I have heard more from him during the last ten days about three acquaintances of mice than I could have heard from them in a lifetime. My pastor is moderately discreet.

Consequently I am com- ng to believe that tbere is nolhire bid den that Bball not, sooner or later in this world, be made known to me. and con cerning me, by my professional advisers.

Z. New York, June 25, 1877. Professor Orion lu Lawrence Couutr Ironton Register.l Professor Orton, President of the Ohio Agricultural College, and formerly of the Geological Survey, has been in this county, sines last Sunday. Tbe purpose of his visit is to gather facts in reference to the Coalton coal, and other prominent geological features of this county. The inspection given this locality by Professor AndreWB, and especially bis decision as to the position of the Coalton vein, has never given complete confidence among our practical men. Professor Orton is a very competent and trustworthy observer, and we Bball await the result of his examinations with great interest. On Monday, he went out to Hecla fur nace and took observations there. On Tuesday, he went to Sheridan and ex plored the Lack Creek valley. To day (Thursday) he will, probably, go to Kentucky and follow the Coalton vein from its source. Yesterday, he took some observations in this neighborhood. He will leave Friday. We are very sorry tbat his time would not allow a visit to the Symmes creek region a more important section to the future of this community lhan tbe beaten paths be bss followed. If, at some other time, he should honor tbis community with a visit, we hope he will make it a part of his plans to see for himself the rich region of Symmes. Tbe Wheat Crop. Cincinnati Gazette. The harvesting of the enormous wheat crop in Ohio and Indiana is making good progress in spite of severe local storms. The principal portion of the crop is already cut and much of it is safely garnered. UnleBS the weather should be exceptionally bad for the next two weeks, there will be no further room for anxiety as to the wheat. A large surplus and good prices are assured, nod every business man knows what that means. A Reranrkable Wverkluht.

Our Newark Bpecial gives an account of much devastation in Licking county on Thursday, and probable loss of life. A gentleman who traveled from Johnstown, Licking county, to Weaterville, Franklin county, reports muoh destruction of limber; a large tract of woodland in Plain township, belonging to Mr, Diger, was almost entirely leveled to the ground. Mrs. Shott, of the same township, had a barn and considerable timber thrown down, and much damage of a similar description was inflicted in Blendon township, Franklin county, and in Genoa and Harlem townships, Delaware county, Thomas Cole was one of the principal sufferers in Harlem, much of his timber being blown down. The barn of Mr! Elias, two miles east of New Albany, was unroofed. A new bridge over Raccoon creek, in Licking county, was swept away. Bleratadi's Pictures. To the Editor of the Ohio Btate Journal : Columbus ia about to enjoy one of those rare treats which the cities of the United States have always looked foi-ward to with pleasure and enjoyed with profit for now more than eighteen years, vis. : the exhibition of one of Albert Bieretadt'a celebrated landscapes. By the exhibition of the Yosemite, Vesuvius and Mt. Hood, the art education of the American publio has been greatly assisted and promoted, and to the power of Mr. Bier-stadt's pictures to instruct, as well as please, is he indebted for his immense reputation and success. The picture now on exhibition at No. 40 North High street, called North Fork of King's River, Southern California, is one of the fintst ever painted by Mr. Bierstadt. The choice of subject is a wilderness of rocky heights that except for the evident work of his bands "so lonely that God himself scarce seemed there to be," and even the United States surveyors seem lost and to looking for some habitation more than for level or latitude. But even the wilderness in Mr. Bierstadt's hands blooms like the rose, and this be acquires by his treatment. Upon a vaBt expanse of rocky mountain sides which are sufficiently enveloped in miBty atmosphere to render the atrial perspective in all its beauty and to develop the mountain grey and mountain gloom, are relieved in vigorous sunlight the richness of color in red pines of piotureeque and fantastio forms, the deep greens of foliage and their reflection in a clear and placid lake that bursts from its rocky prison and bounds in glee and brightness aoross the picture, and down, down till it ia lost in the depths of the forest, thousands of feet below, and finally mingles with the rushing waters of 1 King's river, which forms a brilliant line of grace and light through the center of the picture. On the mountain sides of the immense distance far above the level of the sea the water has worn for itself little basics and nooks, and there rests like emeralds set in silver and diamonds. The eye in wandering from peak to peak would weary of their ruggedness did it not just in time plunge with them into a quiet, fleecy afternoon sky. In execution all those qualities of technique so well managed by Mr. B. are in this picture in full force ; the softness of sky and cloud, the hardness of rock, leafinesa of foliage and rushing of mountain stream are all rendered by a handling thoroughly ex- . ptessive of each, and, in short, the picture ' is one for artists to study and connoiseurs to love and cherish.

A Portland press dispatch says : In the Grover investigation there were examined yester day H. Haight, member of the Legisla ture at the last session from Jlock-a-Moes county, ex-Governor L. Curry, Governor Chad wick, and L. Danforth. Nothing definite or even satisfactory was elicited from these witnesses tending in any man. ner to tbe establishment of the charges preferred against urover. James .Brown testified be knew Kepre sentative Wilson, of Tillawook oounty, and bad a conversation with him in regard to the Senatorial question. Vic. Trevett and Barnhart wanted to find whether he would throw off on Nesmith, The witness said : Barnhart gave me some money to try him with, i asked him how much it would take to get him not to vote for Grover, and whether $1500 would do. He said no; he could do better. He told me he would talk to me the second evening after if Grover was not elected, and be would talk business. Never had any conversation with him afterward, and gave the money back to Barnhart. The next day (this waa two nights before Governor Grover's election) be stated to me that we wanted Nesmith. He said Nesmith was a fool for not going into tbe caucus. To tempt him I laid the money on the table and wanted him to name what sum would do him. He did not agree to that money. There was talk about money being used, and the talk came from both sides, but the most of it came from the Nesmith side. Senator Goodman, of Lynn county, testified as follows in relation to the conversation which took place between the witness and J. H. Moaier, member of the House from Wasco county. Moaier said to me on the night before the Senatorial election: "How is this Senatorial question going?" I said, I don't know, He said, "Why won't Mr. Grover do?" I said, well Mr. Grover is a good man, but he is not my choice. "Well," he said, "there is a chance to make some money. A man can get $1000 for his vote." Said I, " Who has the money ?" He said, 'I knowwbeie the money is, and you can get $1000 for your vote. They want three more votes, and they have $3000 to pay for it." To the question, "Who offered it?" the witness said, "You will have to judge of that, as I did." THE INDIANS.

San Francisco, July 6 A preBs dispatch from Portland contains news from General Howard's camp on Salmon river to June 25. The Indians passed along Bald mountain, opposite the camp on the 19th in full view of the soldiers. General Howard is hurrying with all possible dispatch in order to pursue or find the direction taken by the Indians. If tbe trail indicates that Joseph intends escaping to the buffalo country, General Howard will immediately retrace his steps to Lewiston, and endeavor to head him off by way of Hangman's creek. Captain Connville of the Lewiston volunteers, starts to-day to skirmish the territory in the vicinity of Slate creek to find the direction Joseph has taken. The'Malhenr Indians have taken to the county of Oregon, Fears are entertained that they will effect a junction with the hoBtilee. Squaw men say Joseph has gone toward Spokane river and will take-up bis position in the gulches and canons, intending to stay and fight it out in the Willow valley. The opinion at headquarters is that he will strike for the Buffalo country. Joseph has now a day and a half the start of the troops. General Howard has telegraphed for a regiment of regulars, which it is understood can get here in ten days from Omaha, Nebraska. The post now has about five hundred men, three howitzers and two Gatling guns. THE STORM.

July 9 The following correspondence Is made public Nw Tobk, June 80, 1877 MT Diae Sib : In view of the state ment made by the Attorney General in hi communication of June 23, and which from his high official position might nat urally induce tbe pnblio to believe that I have been acting in bad faith,' and with no luieuuuo oi uurij carrying oui my intentions a (xnressed in mv' letter to Mr. O'Conor of the 8th of December, 1876, would Ml it it will . be possible or proper to have all the facts hich are in dispute between Mr. Faircbild and yourself submitted to soma gentleman or gentlumen, who are tree from political bias, to render a writ ten opinion whetber or not, in all the facts. I have been faithful to mv Dromise. and whether what I have done does not justify my release frem custody. . To Mr. O'Conor, as a gentleman of recognized nonor and ability, 1 made my brat ap peal. To him I would willingly submit the whole matter and feel satisfied with any decision he might arrive at, trust ing tbis suggestion, which 1 take the lib erty of publishing, will not interfere with any action you may have determined upon. Yours truly, Wm, M. Tweed. To Hon. John D. Townsend. ThiB is followed by a letter from Town send to Attorney General Fairchild, in Which Townsend says : "In your report to tbe Governor upon your official conduct in tbe actions against feter a. Sweeny and William M. Tweed, you took occasion to criticize severely my acts, and charged me with conduct which, if as you represent it to be, would be reprehensible to the last degree. In fact, a large part of the report, which Is not taken up with a historical sketch of what you say has been done by other parties, and upon wbose shoulders you now attempt to place the burden of vour own responsibility, and which is not de voted to your assertions that J. weed s proposal was unreliable and worthless, is an effort to distract public attention from your official action to my conduct, which you say to some extent governed your de cision. "I assume the latter has but little interest for the public, as my relation to Tweed was a private and not an official one, except so far as it had effect upon your judgment, otiu some or your animadversions seem an injustice to myself, and require a reply. "In my open letter to you. dated June 20, 1 set forth, as far as I could fairly go, what 1 weed s proposition contained and all that he offered to do, and it was ap parent irom that (bat tbere were but three courses honorably open to you to pursue: "First, to return the statement imme diately, if you felt disinclined to enter upon such negotiation, and this course, though it might have seemed harsh. would have been such an Hot of official judgment as to permit unfair criticism. "second, to return the statement imme diately, if you thought that proof of all it contained would not warrant his re lease. "Third, if you concluded that its con tents would warrant his release, to investigate thoroughly whether he could do what the statement set forth. All that he proposed was contained in that statement, unlesB his mind was refreshed as to other matters; and the intimation that he might further corroborate bis assertions was based solely upon tbe ground that you would release him, and as an assur-ranee that he meant fairly by you, he asked no discharge from either civil judgment or criminal indictment. 1 cave briefly rehearsed this In order that it may be remembered that Tweed made no proposition to confirm his evidence, except such as were set forth in the statement. The statement furnished to you was based upon Tweed's letter to Mr. O'Conor, and waa intended to accomplish that which in your report- you say was Mr. O'Conor's aim I quqte your language although this decision (meaning the Court of Appeals decision) defeated the reoovery of a large amount of money, yet the vigor and energy of the prosecution had already driven from power and broken down the wrong and made the people of New York free. "J. his waa the main good sought by Mr. O'Conor's prosecution, and it was more important to the city and State than the mere getting of a sum of money however large. In theory it appears you agree with Mr. O'Conor, but in practice it seems you differ. You made no attempt in your report to deny that you stated to Mr. Kelly that you would release Mr. Tweed, if he carried out his intentions as expressed in bis letter to Mr. O'Conor. xou do not deny tbat on tbe twectysec-ond of April you told me that you were surprised at finding how much evidence Mr. feckbam bad that corroborated what Mr. Tweed could testify to, and tbat you then intimated to me that Mr. Tweed would be released in a few days, xou fail to deny that you gave assurance lo the same effect to Tweed. Tou fail to explain how it was that, without my knowledge, you called upon Tweed with Bryant, and how it is that Bryant could have been so conversant with your movements and your wishes, and I so ignorant of tbem. unleBS be waa acting in concert with you. You gave no reason why you requested me not to communicate with Mr. feckbam on tbe subject of the propo sition. You show no reasons, as I trusted you would, why you have been bo very considerate to many ring thieves who still live in comfort and elegance. You have not denied that it was by your suggestion tbat Mr. Tweed declined to testify berore the Senate committee in the Woodin matter, or why it was that, when Tweed was expecting a full examination of the matters set forth in my statement, you confined yourself in your interview with him on tbe 27th of March, to taking a statement in writing from him of what he could prove against Senator Woodin." The letter replies at length to various portions of the Attorney General's report, and among other things denounces as a falsehood the statement tbat he (Townsend) offered to collect for ten per cent, the amount covered by Tweed's checks, and that he (Townsend) was re tained as counsel for Sweeny, the retainer given him by the latter being merely to prevent his being retained by the people. The letter is quite caustic and almost en tirely of a personal character. Maryland Jostlee. Baltimore, July 6. Saturday last, the grand jury of the Baltimore County Circuit Court presented two of the Judges, namely, Richard Grason and George Gel-lott, for malfeasance in office, and ob- etructin'g investigations then being made By lb grand jury by refusing to extend tbe term of tbe court. ; To-day another step was taken in this Unfortunate matter, a State warrant be ing Issued for tbe arrest of Ueneral John 8.

At a meeting of the Washington Monument Association 4-to-day, General Meiggs submitted a plan to terminate tbe present structure with metallic spire one hundred and forty feet -igb, making tbe total height four hun dred and forty-two feet, and the column resemblioa the tower in the publio square of Venice,. The additional weight will be 4.147,000 pounds. General Meiggs also approved tbe plan of arkin U, Mead to complete' the monument bv placing a colossal statue oi Washington upon the present structure. This figure oi Washington will be eigbtynve feet in height and of light hammered metal, so tbat tbe additional welgbt will be Incon iderable. ! : ' the president's ordeb. Ths Cabinet session to-day was mainly devoted to conversation and informal dis cussion concerning the President's recent order prohibiting Federal officer from participating in the management of polit ical committees and conventions, with es pecial reference to the question whether It should be enforced against certain om- ciala who took part in the Iowa Conven tion, and whether roatmaster Ueneral Key correctly interpreted the purpose of the order in his yesterday's letter to the Madison, Wisconsin, postmaster. No formal action was taken on the subject involved, but it was agreed tbat the letter of tbe Postmaster Ueneral was correct and judicious statement of the meaning of the order in regard to cases like the one presented from Wisconsin. and that while the order should be firmly maintained and impartially enforced, there is no cccasion to apply it to the Iowa office-holders who were elected as members of the Convention before it was issued, and who probably took their seats colore it reached tbem by mail. THE MEXICAN MINISTER. The letter accrediting Senor Mata as Minister from the Diss Government was read at the meeting, and was the subject of interested attention. It was a very friendly and pleasant document, but the contents received no further attention than a respectful listening, as it was not regarded as at present proper to take any aotion beyond reference to the State Department, by which it was presented. FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS. At the Cabinet meeting some time was given to considering foreign appointments, but without a determination upon any names before the council. , MURDER IN NEVADA. Indian Agent Barns, of the Nevada agency, telegraphs to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, from Wadsworth, that Benjamin Holland, a farmer at the reservation in Southeastern Nevada, and W. H. Carter, formerly a blacksmith there, were shot and killed by four white men. Indians and whites from tbe reservation are in pursuit of the murderers. BIDS OPENED.

Thomas on M street circle, this city. The appropriation for the pe destal is $25,000. The bids ranged from $8700 to $29,500. MEXICO. Misinterpretation of the Order to General Ord The Mexican Govern ment Taking Steps to atop the Raids on the Border. City op Mexico, July 8. The epirit of tbe order to General Ord to cross the Rio Grande, has been misunderstood by tbe press, which has made bitter attacks on the American Government. Tbe of ficial journal ohargea the United States Government with a violation of treaties and international law, alleging that the Kio urande movement Is a pretext for territorial aggrandizement, or lor forcing tjerao upon me Mexican people. These attacks have called forth a memoran- um from Minister Foster, which ia ad dressed to tbe Government and foreign representatives. following are the principal points of the memorandum : The instructions given to General Ord are not the announcement of a new measure on the part of the United States. The depredations committed during the past four years, were . not common both side of the frontier. Mexico took no adequate, no vigorous measures to prevent tbe depredations or punish the outlaws. Mexico frequently acknowledged its inability to discharge its uty regarding tbe preservation of order on the Rio Grande frontier, giving as a reason internal aissension. The instructions to General Ord are misinterpreted by the Mexican Government, therefore the declaration by the Mexican Minister of War is unwarrant ed, in officially asserting thai the instruc tions to Ueneral Urd are in contravention of treaties between Mexico and tbe Uni ted States. Telegraphic dispatches announce a meeting between Generals Ord and T re- vino at iiedras Hegrai, at which amicable and satisfactory arrangements were made for the suppression of raids. The Mexican Government insists upon a modification of the order to General Ord, and fears are entertained tbat the modification will not be conceded. There considerable excitement over tbis affair in the Capital. oenor Kafael Benandes has been com manded by the Mexican Government to axe a special and minute study of tbe situation on the border and report meas ures deemed expedient for putting a stop to the raids and disorders.

The silver issued up to date is $33,000,000, of which $21,000,000 was for redemption of fractional currency, and the balance for ourrency obligations. Sharon, Pennsylvania, was the scene of a distressing tragedy on tbe 4th instant. William Bell, a respected citizen about sixty vears old. was driving alone the street in a light wagon loaded with scrap iron, wbicb made a rattling noise. Ibis frightened a fractious horse driven by Miss Kate McUilvery, who requested Bell to stop so that she might get ahead of the danger. Bell being partially deaf did not at once hear the request, but when he became aware of tbe young lady's wiBhes he complied with her request. MisB McGilvery, however, misunderstood his actions, and reported to her father that Bell had tried to frighten her horBe. This so enraged McGilvery that he at once Bought -tell, and bnding bim near a grocery store knocked him through a window and severely, though not dangerously injuring him. This induced the wrath of Richard Bell, son of William, and upon encountering McGilvery Richard struck him on tbe head with a two-pound weight, fracturing his skull and causing death. Kate McUilvery, the cause of the difficulties, lost her reason in consequence. foreign. Suelima Pasha has received orders to march from Padgaechulza toward the Danube with fortyfive battalions. Fifteen hundred persons who fled from Adler to the Turkish lines from fear of the Russians perished from hunger. It is officially announced that the Russian loss in crossing the Danube at Sistova was 300 killed and 400 wounded. A Bucharest dispatch says no important action is expected until the RueBians have established depots of supplies on the southern side of the Danube and prepared everything for an advance. The master cotton spinners'of Bolton, England, have resolved to reduce the wages of operators five per cent,, provided the representatives of twothirds of the spindles agree to make the reduction. The Roumanian Government before ending troops serosa the Danube, inquired bow Austria would regard such a step, and was informed as long as the Roumanian army raspeoted Servian neutrality, Aus- tria would remain indifferent to its move ments.

Jennie June thus writes about and London : Par- The women are not pretty, but their dressmakers make them appear so; the lingerie is so excellent and they use it so profusely, lbe Unoene shops are, in deed, among tbe prettiest things in Paris, and this season they nave introduced a mixture of pale blue and olive, of tilleul and black poppy red, of blue, fawn and gold and other combinations Buch as sev eral shades of one or two colors into knots of ribbons, embroideiy on gauze, grenadine and lace, into fringes and other articles and methods of ornamentation, wbicb in small quantities and employed with French taste have a charming effect. Living is certainly easy in Pans compared with London or New York, and notwithstanding tbe very great advance in prices, money can still be made to go farther there than elsewhere. But London is the universe compared with any other city in the world, a universe which contains the best and the worst of every thing under tbe sun. Art, music litera ture, luxury of every description finds here its most abundant patronage. There Is a public for every idea, every opinion. and the Btill larger publio which confers immortality upon those who have the genius or good fortune to reach it. JngliBh character, on the wboie, seems to me to have a fine chanoe for deterioration through their very prosperity. There is too large a clans who are not obliged to work, and the workers earn so much more money than formerly that the majority work only four days out of six, and spend the rest of the time in drinking and idlenesa. The vice of drinking is universal, and is carried to excess. It is not oonfined, as in France, to weak wine, but is indulged in much more largely through the medium of strong ales and liquors. This produces a coarseness of appearance, and a corresponing ob- tuseness and absence of refinement which does an injustice to their intelligence, their loyalty, the strength of their affections, and their real truth and delicacy of sentiment. The'honest recognition accorded to any thing really good of its kind 1b, however, wonderful and most pleaBaut to Bee. Oi course, if it is a new thing, it has to overcome a certain amount of insular prejudice and the obstacles created by those with whose interests it 1b supposed to clash; but, once it reaches the outdoor air, it is sure to find staunch and strong sympathizers and helpers. The instinct lor "lair play" amounts to pasBion, and tbe extraordinary efforts made by the people to do honor to General Grant, and tbe outbursts of popular enthusiasm which have followed him wherever and whenever he has appeared, have been inspired less by his personal charaoter, and even the desire to do honor and Bhow sympathy with the American people (though this last feeling is very strong), than from an impression that he has not received his deserts at home; that the eternal abuse heaped upon him was not justified by his acts, nor his recognition commensurate with the service of one who bad led the country through such tremendous crises. It is surprising, too, bow tbe English stick by their favorites. In America we get tired of anything in a season and are ready to throw it away, but in London once a favorite alwayB a favorite, appears to be the rule, even with singers and public performers. The Mes Perces. The Nez Perces and other Indians of Idaho and Eastern Oregon, who have just instituted bo serious a revolt against the Government, belong to what is known as tbe Sahaptia family, which is closely allied with the Salish occupying the adjacent territory. The Nez Perces are physically superior to any of their neigh-bore; they are more coppery in complexion than the coast Indians, with a general expression of features that is stern, often melancholy, but not as a rule harsh or repulsive. Head-flattening obtains to a considerable extent among them, and they paint inveterately. Their voices are strong and manly. They dress like all other wild Indians, but through superior industry ornament their costumes much more elaborately; be-ness tbeir ideas of personal cleanli-sides, are refreshingly above those of the average aborigine. From the Comanches and Apaches they obtained tbeir horses and horsemanship. The Nu Perces livein dove shaped lodges built with poles and skins, some of which are large enough to accommodate fifty or sixty persons, the several families getting along comtortably and harmoui ouBly though there are no partitions. Though not very warlike they are good fighters, fighting on horsebsak, taking scalps and submitting their prisoners to torture by the women of the tribe or sparing their lives to make slaves of them. The bravest and most experienced warrior is annually elected war chief; his sceptre is a long whip, with which he aeourea discipline by merciless flagellations of his subordinates. Father de Smet baptized a great many of them, but their Christianity is only nominal, since it does not prohibit polygamy, as, says a writer in the St. Louis Republican, "a baptized Net Perce will marry the eldest daughter of a family and then take all her younger sisters for wives." A Decision or Interest to Business Men. A recent decision of tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in the case of Hucken-stein v. Hermann, is of interest to the business community. Suit was brought upon a cote, and the defense was that, although there had been a waiver of protest before the maturity of the paper, there had been no waiver of demand and notice of non-payment, which latter re qutrements the plaintiff had failed to comply with. Upon tbe question, therefore, of the actual meaning of "waiver of protest" tbe case came before the Supreme Court. That tribunal, in a brief opinion of tbe full bench, holds that a waiver of protest before maturity is a waiver of all the steps leading to it, and includes de- MARRIED.

Professional Secrets. The following letter to the editor of the New York Evening Post deserves a wide circulation, as those who need halters fur their tongues are found everywhere, and are altogether too numerous for the good of social life : My physician is given to gossip. Ha tells me and other persons a crodieioua deal about the private affairs of his pa tients; mat inrs. A.'s DaDy, for example, was born with an enormous mouth, which . be had to sew up; tbat Mrs. B.'a father died of delirium tremens, that Mr. C. is killing himself, and cannot possibly take more than six months in doing so; that Mr. D. has just lost $10,000; and that Mr. F. is bo unhappy with Mrs. F. tbat a divorce is Imminent. My lawyer was almost as communica tive about his client's affairs. I have heard more from him during the last ten days about three acquaintances of mice than I could have heard from them in a lifetime. My pastor is moderately discreet. Ha does not talk much in publio about the skeletons in his flocks' closets, but he does talk to his wife and daughter, who tell my wife and daughter more than they ought to know. Consequently I am com- ng to believe that tbere is nolhire bid den that Bball not, sooner or later in this world, be made known to me. and con cerning me, by my professional advisers.

Z. New York, June 25, 1877. Professor Orion lu Lawrence Couutr Ironton Register.l Professor Orton, President of the Ohio Agricultural College, and formerly of the Geological Survey, has been in this county, sines last Sunday. Tbe purpose of his visit is to gather facts in reference to the Coalton coal, and other prominent geological features of this county. The inspection given this locality by Professor AndreWB, and especially bis decision as to the position of the Coalton vein, has never given complete confidence among our practical men. Professor Orton is a very competent and trustworthy observer, and we Bball await the result of his examinations with great interest. On Monday, he went out to Hecla fur nace and took observations there. On Tuesday, he went to Sheridan and ex plored the Lack Creek valley. To day (Thursday) he will, probably, go to Kentucky and follow the Coalton vein from its source. Yesterday, he took some observations in this neighborhood. He will leave Friday. We are very sorry tbat his time would not allow a visit to the Symmes creek region a more important section to the future of this community lhan tbe beaten paths be bss followed. If, at some other time, he should honor tbis community with a visit, we hope he will make it a part of his plans to see for himself the rich region of Symmes. Tbe Wheat Crop. Cincinnati Gazette. The harvesting of the enormous wheat crop in Ohio and Indiana is making good progress in spite of severe local storms. The principal portion of the crop is already cut and much of it is safely garnered. UnleBS the weather should be exceptionally bad for the next two weeks, there will be no further room for anxiety as to the wheat. A large surplus and good prices are assured, nod every business man knows what that means. A Reranrkable Wverkluht.
